Sword-Wielding Bandit Foiled in Canadian Church
Wed Sep 4, 2:47 PM ET
EDMONTON, Alberta (Reuters) - A crudely disguised man wielding a Samurai sword burst into a Canadian Jehovah's Witness church and tried to rob 65 congregation members before he was foiled by one who used his cell phone to alert police, authorities said on Wednesday.
Police responded quickly and arrested the man after convincing him to drop the 65 centimeter (two foot) blade in the incident late Tuesday at a northeast Edmonton Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall, police spokesman Dean Parthenis said.
Officers also recovered a kitchen knife and a medieval-style mace from the 41-year-old suspect, who was dressed in a trenchcoat, a mask fashioned out of bandages, sunglasses and rubber gloves.
"I'm not sure if it was a meeting or a prayer ceremony taking place, but he just interrupted and made it quite clear he was looking for money and bank cards, and he had that sword," Parthenis said.
"Obviously he was quite intimidating and people inside there were quite shocked."
Quick thinking by the congregation member with the cellular phone allowed police in four cruisers to get to the hall and collar the man before he fled with any money, he said.
The man has been charged with robbery, wearing a disguise with intent, possession of an offensive weapon, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a prohibited weapon.
